I stared at the man in front of me, waiting for his order to be served. I was at my job, working for a famous bar. The bar is known as Night Captain and its always packed with people. Especially on weekends. The customers who come here are not just any people. They are rich. They have weapons that any normal person would never have and I know I should never get involved with them.
"Silas Blake.." The man sitting in front of me said my name with a light chuckle. Yes I am Silas Blake, I am a 19 year old who was forced to drop out from school to work. I never have had a happy day in my life because of my father. My mother was killed by some men who my father was in debt to but my father blames me for her death saying why couldn't they have killed me instead. Anyway my shift was going to end in less then an hour and my heart was beating faster then a racing car.
"Oh Silas! Can you take over the next shift? The person who is supposed to come here right now is taking a sick leave today and we have no other worker who would come to work right now. I promise I'll give you extra money in your salary." The owner of the bar, Mr. Hudson asked me politely. He is a very kind person and I'm glad I'm working for him. "Yes I can take over her shift!" I said without any hesitation. I'll do anything to not go to my home as far as jumping of a cliff or killing a person.
One by one the people in the bar started to leave. It has become quieter then before and is less crowded. There was a soft song playing in the background and it made the atmosphere more soothing. I grabbed a broom and started to clean the mess the customers have made. Sometimes it make me wonder how would they live alone if they are this messy.
The bar is now empty. I sat behind the counter waiting for my shift to be over. Suddenly the bell hanging on top of the door rang making me jump up from the chair to greet the customer. "Hello sir! What would you like to have?" I put a smile on my face and greeted him. "I'm looking for Silas Blake! Does he work here?" His deep voice echoed inside the bar. "I am Silas Blake! How may I help you?" He was someone I never knew existed. Why is he looking for me? How does he know me? Who is he? All these questions circled around me as I stared at him with a smile.
